The Odyssey

When 11-year-old Jay Ziegler falls from a treefort after being pursued by bullies who wanted his father's precious telescope, he ends up in a coma - in the real world (known as the Upworld). In the Upworld, Jay's mother Val, his best friend Donna and the bully Keith all try to cope with their reality. In the Downworld (Jay's mind), Jay finds himself in a world entirely populated by children, where he meets up Alpha and Flash (the Downworld counterparts of Donna and Keith) and the trio embark on a mysterious mission involving a telescope, the land's mysterious leader Brad, and a connection to Jay's father.

In the Downworld, a downhearted Jay spends time in the ""bus-cafe"" but is soon reunited with Flash and Alpha, as they find themselves on the run again, and find themselves near the lighthouse.

In the Upworld, Jay has finally come out of his coma, and is attempting to re-adjust to living a normal life, but his mom insists on counseling. Meanwhile, in the Downworld, Finger is the new leader and he puts Jay and Flash in a fight for survival.
